STREET CLEANING AND STREET DE
FILING.

Mavor TIewitts long letter cmbodying his
observations upon the work of the Street.
Cleaning Department and the obstacles which
confront it, and closing with the
rcappointment Of Mr. Coleman as
Commissioner, is a plain statement
of facts which ought TO be driven into
the CONSCIOUSNESS of every citizen. In sense
everybody knows that streets cannot be kept
clean unless they arc originally well made and
subsequently, kept clear of stationary incum-

merchants and houscholdcrs in this city He
is an observing man and his mind is full OF tho

seen the revolving broom pass along down
town cross street, and before it reached the
nearest corner he has seen men deliberately
empty barrels Of rubbish from their shops
npon the pavement Just swept He has seen
n thousand sights like this, and so has every
body else who walks the streets. Such things
arc done not because those who do them begin
their days work with a conscious resolve to
tie blamcwodky and contemplate, but be-
cause they are imbucd with the spirit OF III
difference to The lie welfare which has
made NcwYork for generations the worst
governed city in the civilized world. and, ~
spite Of manifold advantages, one Of the most
uncomfortable. Tho man who d posts h &

pause, was forced to advise the withdrawal
Of the portraits from the line Of march in the
interest of "pcace and harmony"
This action has already been anticipated by
sober-minded citizens of st. Louis who take
pride in the reputation OF their town. One
of the journals of that city had openly en-
couraged repetition of the Wheeling insult
10 the soldiers. Indeed, so much was said in
favor of challenging demonstrations OF hostil-
ity to the President from the Grand Army that
many of the most judicious leaders OF tho
organization favored the abandonment OF the
parade. Happily better spirit now prevails.
The more reputable journals have urged that
the Grand Army and the President could each
be honored in turn. and that any attempt TO
insult or cxasperate the soldiers and TO force
clash of political feeling would bring reproach
upon the citys reputation for hospitality and
courtesy. The devices of unscr pulous par
tisans have been condemned, and it
is now the general understanding in the city
that political banners shall be kept out OF
sight until the encampmcnt is ended. "The
Post-Dspatch" judiciously says that the poor
est veteran is as much entitled to respectful
treatment as any ruler on earth, and that there
will be no exaltation Of the Presidents
picture in the position of a GesSlers cap to
exact obe anoe from his political opponents"
Attempts TO make a political use Of the vet
Grams, which the President has himself de-
plored, will thus be frustrated.

to Washington to negotiate peace between

President had expressed bis belief that the
Union veteran after making many sacrifices
and enduring hardships could not "be earned
away from the even plane of good citizenship
by the devices of cnscrupulous men who would
use him for partisan purposes" The Envoy
in reply abruptly referred 70 dispatches from
